Is 13 miles too far to drive for an "okay" job?

Jobs are hard to come by here in the US...whether the drive is worth it to you, only you can decide. Part of that decision for me would be the wage I'm getting paid...does it justify spending at least 40 mins round trip on the road every day that I work?

If it's that job or no job, I'd say it was worth it.

definately not far at all.

im sure that lots of people, i mean really really lots of people wish they could commute 13 minutes.

i read a few weeks ago somethign on the net that the average commute in california is about 45 miles. but if you are in a very busy area, even that 45 miles will drive you crazy.

so i'd say go for the job and enjoy it, while it is so close. you might want something better down the road and you wont find it that close.

no thats not to far, but you have to look at how much you'll get paid per week compared to how far you'd drive in a week, but 13 miles isn't bad even if you drove a big truck or SUV, the most i've driven for a job was 30 minutes away and i drive a 98 chevy silverado and i was fine since i got paid $11 an hour there but if lets say you have to travel 45 minutes each way and only work part time or only minimum wage then thats to far for that certain job, but i've heard of people driving over an hour each way to work

I actually drive 20 miles to work. The pay is "okay" but closer to the "good" scale. There are many factors you have to consider... How good is your gas mileage and how much of your hard earned money will be going into compensating for that. Then what about children? If you have little ones, they will almost always fall asleep on the ride home. which gets hard when youre trying to put them to sleep. Also, you have to consider what you will be doing at your job, and how this will effect your drive home. ( I am always so tired driving home and hate it). Just take all these things into account and weigh your options.

the area, staring on the motor vehicle speed working example using at 40 miles in line with hour, for 10 miles is approximately 15 minutes of holiday it somewhat is a sensiblecontinual for a ingredient time job. Your mom expects the job to be around the corner out of your place which may be suitable yet no longer sensible. reliable success!!

Not at all. I drive about 25 miles, and I have a much shorter commute then some of my coworkers.

That is not too far. Enjoy. Me? I commute by motorcycle.

not too far
